Abstract
- Kim Jong Un Says North Korea's Food Situation "Getting Tense" (Bloomberg) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the country's food situation is "getting tense" due to typhoons last year that wiped out crops, comments that underscored farm-sector shortfalls made worse by his decision to close borders to prevent Covid. According to the United Nations World Food Program, one of the few international humanitarian groups that has operated in reclusive North Korea, about 40% of the population is undernourished, adding "food insecurity and malnutrition are widespread.".
